6. Treasurer's report: Prof Everett presented a brief report, and accounts are appended for the
last full academic year (1 September 2000 to 31 August 2001). The number of member departments is
decreasing, with 52 subscriptions paid for 2001/2 at time of reporting, and one cause being the
amalgamation of multiple departments.

7. Election of Officers: Chair, Secretary and Treasurer continue in office for another year. The
Vice Chair Prof Nigel Steele retired through ill health, and thanks were proffered for his
contribution over some years. Prof Duncan Lawson was elected to the committee and to the role of
Vice Chair.

8. Election of Committee Members: To avoid excessive simultaneous retirements in the following
year, two committee members (Prof P Giblin and Dr D Stirling) had retired early and been co-opted.
Prof D Fearn had retired normally.

There were thus four vacancies, and members were elected to these as follows for a period of two
years in each case:
Prof P Giblin (Liverpool)
Prof Duncan Lawson (Coventry) (Also Vice Chair)
Dr Alice Rogers (King's College, London)
Dr David Stirling (Reading)

The Chair proposed a vote of thanks to the co-optees on the committee: to Dr Adrian Lepper at his
last meeting, having represented the IMA over a considerable period; to Prof M Dodson retiring as
LMS representative to be replaced by Prof J Howie, who also adds Scottish representation; to Prof J
Griffiths who has joined the committee to represent the OR Society, and adds Welsh representation;
and to Prof T Sweeting for continuing to represent the RSS.
